- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great way to get started in the wonderful world of meditation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the simple and clear explanations and examples. The book is a bit long and I’ll probably need to read it again, because English is my 2nd language. But I love how it is okay if you just sit for 1 minute and it is fine. I was way too perfectionistic about meditation.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book . Recommended for any one who is beginning there journey with meditation
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Definitely the book to start with as a beginner - it explains what meditation is (and even more important, what it is not). Especially appreciated were chap 18 - "ten favorite all-purpose meditations" and chap 19 - "ten meditation research studies - and what they mean for you". Very user friendly and practical with a great resources section if you wish to delve further into the subject. Enjoyable to read and recommended.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you are like me, and are beginning to explore meditation, this book will be a wonderful addition to your library. Bodian, the author, is the former editor-in-chief of Yoga Journal. He explains meditation in a down to earth manner, and guides you every step of the way. The book covers various types of meditation without favoring one over the other. It offers an informative, practical, and comprehensive look at meditation. I don't know if it would be useful for a seasoned meditation practitioner, but it is certainly the best book for a beginner like me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book - very practical and progressive. Perfect for beginners as the title/series implies. Explains how and why in parallel and maintains links with the origins of meditation without judgement. Some of the earlier simpler exercises yield benefits instantly and give insight into how you might progress.
